Tylenol Before Shots

We are bringing our son in for his 2-month check-up and immunizations next week. Should we give him Tylenol (or other generic pain reliever) just before the appointment or wait until after the shots, if needed?

I recommend you purchase infant tylenol or generic infant acetaminophen and bring it with you to the appointment. After he is weighed we can help you give him and accurate dose.

Motrin and Tylenol dosing

What dose of Tylenol (acetaminophen) and Motrin/Advil (ibuprofen) do you use for your family? Do you give both together? What temperature do you give these fever reducers?
